We're back from hiatus, just in time as both first round playoff series head to a decisive game 5. Hillsborough evened up their series with Vegas yesterday. The Hitmen offense came alive and scored 7 runs in the third inning off starter A.J. Burnett to force the series to return to New Jersey. Nick Markakis was 3-4 and Russell Martin was 3-4 with 2 RBIs for the Hitmen. Ronnie Belliard also went 2-4 with 4 RBIs for the Hitmen. The series resumes Tuesday evening.
Meanwhile, Vancouver is in Marietta, as their series climaxes with Ben Sheets and John Danks on the mound for their respective teams. This is essentially a rematch of game one that saw the Mighty Men destroy the Iron Fist 9-1, holding the defending champs to a dismal 4 hits. The Mighty Men also benefitted from 9 walks issued by Vancouver pitchers. Will it be a repeat?
The first round of awards were issued over the weekend, as winners for the Rintel and Eckersley awards were issued. Voting for the three top prizes is already underway and Gold Glove winners will be announced soon.
